My humble self is a citizen of the Federal Republic of Germany. Most of you know the history of my country between 1933 and 1945. In short, we committed the most heinous crime in history, mostly referred to as the Holocaust. If you don’t know what happened back then, I would strongly suggest reading this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust
Because of this, our country is allied with Israel, and it was the reason of state to never publicly criticise Israel. Personally, I have a very hard time having an opinion about the current conflict. Last time I did an intelligence test I scored 144, which is solid, but not spectacular. However, I’m too stupid to write anything of substance about the conflict and barely follow the news any more because it distresses me.
Our German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock managed to comment in a way that I can only appreciate. She did something almost impossible and as I am too stupid to comment on that, I am delighted to have her in that position, just like Angela Merkel before and Ursula von der Leyen in all of Europe.
Men ruled the world for many centuries, and just look where we ended up. Women are the better politicians because they can communicate better. Many women are scared because of the hate and personal attacks they face once they enter a public office or an election campaign.
This is where I come into play. What I can actually do is provoking fascists a******* and draw the hate onto me. I can dispatch trolls like nothing because I can do material and mathematical magic and mindr*** them, while making sure to obey the law and not use physical violence. Within these boundaries, I intend to cause maximum harm to the fascists, for now only in Germany.
OK, some Starcraft as well. I’m watching the “ESL SC2 Masters — Winter Knockout Stage” currently, and I enjoy watching Classic so far. His style of combining robo units with carriers seems to finally open a Protoss (and therefore evil) strategy to destroy Terrans. I feel much more confident against Zergs on my current abysmal 40 APM skill level. I enjoy playing random and will probably start on the US ladder to learn all the evil strategies before starting in Europe.

Bold take that borders on sexism. Where is the source for this?
Even if true on average, it means nothing when it comes to individuals or women in positions of power. "Power corrupts" is a gender-neutral statement that can be just as true as yours.
Maybe we should stray away from gender-specific language in general and focus on policy, platform, and outcomes? Seems more reasonable than "women are better at talking so therefore female politicians are better than men," or any argument that includes remarks about intelligence tests (lol).

the jews, the americans and the arabs can only settle this thing 1 way. inside a wrestling ring.
BTW, in New York tonight the jewish AEW World Champion. Maxwell Jacob Friedman, will defend his championship at a Pay Pre View. Obviously, jewish//israeli attendance for this thing will be massive. It'll be interesting to see if there are any protests around this event.
Normally, Israel flags are spotted throughout the crowd for any Friedman match held any where in the world. So, It'll be interesting to see what tonight brings.

My source is the state of our planet and while there are compassionate male politicians like Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden and Emmanuel Macron and terrible female ones like Margaret Thatcher, just look at how well Germany did with Angela Merkel. We have splendid social security and amazing finances due to nearly a decade of negative interest rates for our government debt.We are the country that supports Ukraine military the most, aside the US, because we can afford it.
Men had a long time to try and rule the planet in a good way, but they ultimately failed. I became a hardcore feminist and even have the opinion that removing the right to vote in political elections should be removed for all men older than18 and younger than 66.
And your image - those were different times in which female leaders had to show their killer instinct to be respected. Nowadays starting a war isn't popular, even in a country like Russia.
Happy Birthday! Let's hope when your birthday is over Maxwell Jacob Friedman is stil the AEW Champion. If you want to watch the Pay Per View for free just apply for one of those IPTV 24 Hour Free Trials.

Justin had the lowest popular vote of any Prime Minister in Canadian history.
Compassionate? The #6 cause of death in Canada amongst people under 50 is state assisted suicide. Compassionate? LOL.
THose stats are too embarassing for the government so what are they doing? Changing the definition of cause of death so that the suicides are classified differently.
Justin Trudeau has fucked Canada into the ground. His father was a real leader and Canada improved exponentially during his tenure as PM.

Thank you for the link and the congratulations, I'm 44 now. Aren't wrestling matches decided before they begin?
In Germany, pirating is forbidden, but this European law is not enforced. If you told a German police officer that you or someone else is constantly pirating, they would tell you not to waste your time. Germany has excellent police btw. I am far-left leaning and vote green since Angela Merkel retired, and I have zero issues with them.
some IPTV proviers are not officially piracy in Canada. I use VoCo TV. As of yet, it is undecided whether or not it is piracy. One of my customers is a media company that has a chain of adult/XXX-rated stores throughout North America. They also use VocoTV in their "private viewing rooms". I license my viewing booth software to them.
If VocoTV gets declared as PIracy we'll just switch to a different service that is not considered piracy.

this is what happens in the USA if you are caught pirating TV.

You will find stats like this for any politician. The reason is that attention and political power are limited resources. That is sad, but nearly unavoidable. If you compare your country to Great Britain, you can witness the difference between a compassionate and a non-compassionate government. Rishi Sunak does better than his predecessors. The state of the country, however, is terrible.
Truly perfect governments will only happen once we incorporate AIs in all areas and not just remove the restrictions, but that's probably a discussion for another day.
Dude, you're talking out of your ass. These are not stats of any politician. Also, Justin Trudeau is not of the intellectual calibre of Pierre Trudeau, Jean Chretien, Mike Harris, or Bill Davis. The guy is an engineering school drop out. Until ~2007 Canada was a great country led by great intellectuals who were also street smart. Canada used to be great and a way better place to live than the USA. Now, it is a coin flip.
Before about 2010 when a Canadian and American married it was debatable where to live. Canadian/US marriages and bf/gf happens a lot because 90% of the Canadian population is close to the US/Canada border. Now, there is no question ... the couple settles in the USA. I married an American. We settled in the USA. The decision was easy. 20 years ago it probably would've been Canada.
Its sad man. In the last 15 years Canada has gone from being great to being just above average. The DRs are leaving, the Nurses and best immigrants are leaving. Canada no longer attracts the top notch immigrants it used to attract. The great economic opportunities no longer exist in Canada. Canada's largest city of ECONOMIC migrants is DECLINING in population for the first time ever. Top notch economic migrants are finding better landing spots.
So , these are not just the "stats".
How much time have you spent in either Canada or the USA?
Remember the good old days when the Toronto BLue Jays used to CRUSH the New York Yankees? Those days are over.
So its more than just stats man. That place where that home run was hit... I can walk 30 minutes north east of that place which still has baseball and basketball and hockey every week.... dude... a 30 minute walk north east and i get offered unprotected sexual intercourse from drugged out zombies for $30 at the intersection of Queen and Sherbourne. It is a war zone.
So , its more than stats man. Come over and live it and you'll understand.

No source, just anecdotal opinions. Got it.

Thinking that men or women as a group are a monolith is borderline sexist in itself IMO, but the bolded part is one of the most absurdly stupid things I've ever heard.
We'll never see eye to eye on this so I guess we will have to agree to disagree. GLHF

I don't know the details of Canadian politics, but internationally Justin Trudeau has been a great ally, and in that role I don't remember another Canadian politician. From my perspective, he is on the same list as Angela Merkel, Obama. Macron and Biden.
"You're ruining your own country that elected you, but you say nice things on international arena" - is this a sign of a good leader or politician, really?

Probably yes, because our planet has a huge number of problems that can only be solved by international cooperation. Back in the 1990s, humanity solved a problem with the ozone layer successfully. As terrible as it sounds. Countries that decide on trying to solve their own problems first tend to cause huge issues for internation cooperation. The US under Trump, Britain under Boris Johnson or Hungary are great examples of that.
Angela Merkel is a different beast. She (barely) won her first election after saying that she would increase the taxes and her opponent was in bed with Putin. The "Elephantenrunde" is a tradition after the election, and Gerhard Schröder demolishes himself because the liberal party (WesterwelleI) refuses to go into a coalition.
Merkel later survived the market crash of 2007, and the refugee crises. She actually welcomed the refugees, which was one of the proudest moments in German history. She also favoured international goals over national or regional ones, and in my humble, she is the best head of state (technically only the third) Germany ever had.
